If I woke up at 50 years old with high blood pressure, prediabetes and 30 lbs to lose, here's everything I'd do to reverse it by summer:

1. Watch a show or game on the incline walking pad every night. Image 2.. Eat 40-50g of protein at every single meal. No protein, no meal.
3. Walk 20 minutes after dinner. Non-negotiable.
4. Weigh yourself everyday and take the 7 day average. What gets measured, gets improved.
5. Use real salt, not table salt. It’s high in trace minerals that affect blood pressure and blood sugar control

It's a precursor to glutathione, your body's most powerful antioxidant.

For decades, salt has been vilified for causing high blood pressure and heart disease.

But what if salt isn't the real problem at all?

Here's the truth behind the salt myth: Image In the 1970s, studies linked high salt intake with high blood pressure.

The result? Widespread campaigns demonizing salt. But correlation isn’t causation.

In fact, many of these studies didn’t account for the real culprit: chronically high insulin levels.

I honestly think I could take anyone and reverse Type II Diabetes in 6 months.

-no medications
-no excess cardio
-without giving up carbs

Here’s exactly how we do it:

1) Lift weights 3x/week Image Strength training burns glycogen (stored sugar in the muscle) and moves Glut-4 receptors to the surface of the cell.

This allows you to move blood glucose into the muscle cell WITHOUT insulin.

The more muscle you build and the more frequent you train, the better your blood sugar control.

Here’s how Big Tobacco has been controlling food since the 1980s: 🧵 How It All Started
